Why Should We Prepare?

Why Should WE Prepare?

Because we follow the prophet.

Weather - Tornado, Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Floods, etc.

Job Loss.

Wars (and Rumors of Wars).

We have been asked to prepare (it's a commandment!).
 BECAUSE YOU LOVE YOUR FAMILY!

 THE FAMILY PREPAREDNESS SONG 

Tune: Did You Think to Pray? Hymn #140

Ere you spent your family's paycheck,

Did you think to save?

Just a little for the storage,

Just a little for the porridge

When the Times are grave,

Oh, how storage helps the faithful

When the Prophet's words we heed,

So, if you would not be Fearful,

Plan what you will need.

 

When your neighbor tried to teach you

How to can and sew,

Did you feel in-ti-mi-da-ted

And your plans pro-cras-tin-a-ted?

Now you're feeling low!

Oh, how empty are the cupboards,

Oh, how ragged are your clothes.

How you'll wish that you had listened

When the "good life" goes.

 

Wheat and beans and salt and honey

May not sound so hot.

But if you are going hungry,

If your tummy's cold and grumbly,

They can hit the spot.

Store some diapers for the kiddies,

Everything to see you through;

Cloth and patterns, thread and needles.

Store some long Johns, too.

 

If this topic's repetitious

And you're dull and bored,

When you've naught but empty dishes

And you've used up all your wishes,

You'll wish you had stored...

Food that's tasty and nutritious,

Cloths and bedding, tools and seeds,

Skills that guard your family's future

Gather what you'll need.
